This will be the title of my new blog...I've been trying to figure out how to become more specialized in this blog-writing business, and I suppose, perhaps I had been nosing around too far out of my comfort zone to notice that my topic of focus is right here. Dear ol' dad.
Episode 428:
So today, after breakfast, Dad announced that he was going to get his hair cut. Cool. I am tinkering on my compy and mom is clearing the breakfast table, when Dad pops his head back in to the kitchen and asks, "Joanna, would you like to take a ride with me?" Pajama-clad and less a shower, I decline: "No, thank you."
"Aw, come on. it will be 10 minutes."
" You want me to come with you to get your hair cut?"
" Yeah! It will take 10 minutes. You drive me, you stay in the car and watch DMB (I don't know what this is, but I assume it's the tv that is in his ritzy car) and then 10 minutes! I come out and we go home."
So basically you want me to be your chauffeur, which you already have one of...
"Why don't you just walk?"
In the mean time, Dad, hurt and dejected, turns back to his room to prepare for his lone departure. Mom looks at me and in Korean, responds, "There's no one like me."
I'm a little astonished- "Wait, you drive him to the barber all the time!?"
She's the enabler...
"Dad, are you seriously asking someone to drive you to the barber's?"
Looking at me and mom, he grumbles in Korean, "Nee neh mah-eum eul arrahsssuh/ I see how it is, how you really feel."
!?
ah, the joys of being home...
I have to say though, I'm a little excited to see Patrick and Mia, because there is bound to be another episode to tell of since we last saw them in March of 2009... I have a post about Dad from back then...
